Author: collide. January 15, 2024 Duration: 48:26

Exploration might feel like a lost art these days, but with Jarrod McGehee from New Horizon Oil and Gas, we’re pulling back the curtain on why there’s still so much potential left in the ground. From tapping into the hidden depths of the Gulf of Mexico and South Louisiana to digging into the practical reasons he’s stuck with conventional methods (hint: they’re still paying off!), Jarrod shares what it’s really like to navigate the challenges of shallow water drilling, manage logistics, and tackle state regulations. Plus, with tech like 3D seismic imaging and structural mapping making exploration sharper than ever, he’s even branching into carbon capture as a fresh frontier in energy. This one’s all about the grit, innovation, and resilience it takes to keep exploring in an industry that’s always shifting.
